Admission at Delhi University with class 12 marks ?

Delhi University plans to consider Class 12th marks for admitting students to its undergraduate programs.: DU Vice-Chancellor

The admission for DU UG programmes is underway and on August 1, it started the second phase of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) UG process.

In addition to using the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) marks, the University of Delhi (DU) will also be using the Class 12 marks obtained in the board exams to fill remaining vacant seats after the regular admission rounds conclude.

This announcement by the Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh comes a day after the University Grants Commission (UGC) on August 1 allowed the central universities to conduct their own exams to fill vacant seats so that no seats remain vacant.

Confirming that the university will now not conduct another exam to fill the vacant seats, the DU Vice-Chancellor said: “We will ensure that all seats in this academic year are filled.”

According to the data shared by Delhi University, last year about 5,000 seats remained vacant after the admission rounds were over.

The admission for a total of 79 programmes and 69 colleges in DU is underway and on August 1; it started the second phase of the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) UG process. CSAS UG is divided into three phases – phase I applying to the University of Delhi, phase II filling the preferences for programmes and colleges, and phase III allocation-cum-admission. 

As per the UGC guidelines for filling vacant seats, it has been stated that CUET scores will continue to be the main criteria for admitting students to central universities. Moreover, students who took the CUET, regardless of whether they had previously applied to the respective university for the courses or programs, may also be taken into consideration.

Furthermore, students who appeared in CUET may be considered, irrespective of the domain subject papers they took. The statement of purpose added that universities are allowed to relax the domain subject-specific criteria for admission to a particular course or program.
